The local church is not a building; that is just where we meet. The church is made up of people worshiping and working together, living out their relationship with Jesus. This means there is a place within Avalon Church for everyone to express the gifts and abilities the Lord has given them. Below is a list of opportunities for you to do just that!
WELCOME MINISTRY Making folks feel welcome and included from the parking lot to the worship center doors. Time Requirement: About 4 hours per month on a Sunday morning Contact: Brock Young, 407-403-3175 or
